Bank robbed in South Loop

A man with a scruffy beard and wearing a baseball cap robbed a TCF Bank branch inside a South Loop grocery late this afternoon, police said.

It happened about 5:20 p.m. when the robber demanded money from a teller at the Jewel, 1224 S. Wabash Ave., according to a Central District police lieutenant.

The FBI said the robber was a black man in his 40s with a scruffy beard who weighs about 200 pounds. He stood about 6-feet-tall and did not display a weapon. The robber was wearing a dark-colored baseball cap and a grey and yellow sweatshirt, according to the FBI.

The Jewel remains open during the investigation, according to a store security officer.
